At the school gate, Zhong Xiao Ai saw a GanA-plated Mercedes-Benz with a tiger head emblem, a knowing smile spreading across her face.
“Xiao Ai, this is my friend Zhao Huaihuang, Mr. Zhao!”
“Mr. Zhao, this is my girlfriend, Zhong Xiao Ai!”
“Hello, Ms. Zhong!”
“Zhao Ge, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Zhao Huaihuang, the driver, was so excited by the "Zhao Ge" that he almost couldn't speak.
What had he done to deserve being called "Zhao Ge" by the girlfriend of Sha Shao?
The Hantong Yangzi Hotel was a major international hotel in Hantong Province.
The hotel was bustling with foreign visitors with blonde hair and blue eyes.
“Baoyu, are you going to treat me to Western food?”
As long as she was with Sha Baoyu, Zhong Xiao Ai felt happy, no matter what they were eating.
“We’re eating out today, Mr. Zhao is treating us!”
With such a rare opportunity to show off, Zhao Huaihuang lived up to expectations and showcased his lavishness, ordering every single signature Western dish at the Yangzi Hotel.
“Ms. Zhong, I wish you and Sha Shao a happy marriage soon!”
It had to be said that Zhao Huaihuang was a smooth talker. Zhong Xiao Ai beamed with delight and clinked glasses with him.
“Mr. Zhao’s business should be in Ganzhou, right?”
Although Zhong Xiao Ai’s question was directed at Zhao Huaihuang, her gaze was fixed on Sha Baoyu.
“Well, Mr. Zhao’s license plate is a bit too eye-catching!”
Sha Baoyu was essentially acknowledging it.
It had to be admitted that, despite being a college student, Zhong Xiao Ai had a keen eye for observation.
“Is Mr. Zhao’s business in GanA, where your father is in charge?”
Sha Baoyu remained silent in response to this question.
Zhong Xiao Ai was deeply in love with him, and they knew each other well, so there was no need to hide anything from her.
…
…
“You’re right, Mr. Zhao’s Huaihuang Group is located in Yongchang, GanA.”
Due to Sha Zhenjiang’s influence, Sha Ruijin’s career path was smoother.
He was now the top official in Yongchang.
For some reason, Sha Baoyu was destined to never enter politics.
But this was actually a good thing for him.
He was not a conformist and couldn’t stand any constraints.
In comparison, he preferred to enjoy life and beautiful women.
Moreover, in the 1990s, when everything was reviving, old traditions were rapidly fading away, and new trends were constantly emerging. Countless future bigwigs started their brilliant lives in this era.
Having been reborn in this era, Sha Baoyu was naturally unwilling to be outdone. He had ambitious aspirations and hoped to leave a lasting mark on history.
However, this didn't prevent him from giving his father, Sha Ruijin, a boost.
After all, a powerful Sha family would be his strongest backing.
Deep down, he even harbored an unspoken ambition.
Of course, that was a matter that needed to be carefully considered; it couldn't be rushed.
While studying at Hantong University, he used his foresight to make the necessary arrangements.
Then, due to an accident, he met Zhao Huaihuang, who was then just a manager at the Yongchang Agricultural Machinery Factory. Subsequently, he used his influence to complete the restructuring of the factory.
“Mr. Zhao is in Hantong this time for a car production line!”
A man who is serious about his work is the most attractive.
Zhong Xiao Ai wasn't particularly interested in business matters. She sipped her red wine and looked at Sha Baoyu as he spoke softly, her gaze filled with affection.
He had a faint smile on his face, but his aura was strong, radiating confidence.
Perhaps she had thought of something, as Zhong Xiao Ai's cheeks flushed, her face as radiant as a blooming peach blossom.
“People from Mann Corporation will contact you later. Once the production line is in place, start debugging as soon as possible. Ideally, we should have a batch of sample vehicles by the end of the year!”
“Sha Shao, don’t worry… but will our cars actually sell?”
It was understandable why Zhao Huaihuang had doubts.
The Huaihuang Group wasn't producing small cars like Santana or trucks like Jiefang.
Sha Baoyu was targeting various types of passenger vehicles, commonly known as buses.
Facing Zhao Huaihuang's question, Sha Baoyu shook his head calmly, without further explanation.
People in this era couldn't imagine the incredible speed of China's development in the years to come.
The "10,000 yuan households" of the 1990s would become increasingly common in the years that followed.
The increasing frequency of travel between cities and towns, and even between villages, would create a huge demand for large passenger vehicles.
Moreover, the biggest achievement for a local government leader wasn't just about small successes, but a landmark industry that could sustain growth and reach scale.
The Huaihuang Group was the stepping stone that Sha Baoyu had prepared for his old man, Sha Ruijin, to climb to greater heights.
He, Sha Baoyu, truly wished for his father to succeed.
